Tom G and Sam E Hues bring two Tampa voices together on Cuban Links. The single is listed under both artists on Apple Music, making it an accessible starting point for listeners exploring the city’s connected hip-hop scene.
A collaboration with local roots
Listen to Cuban Links. Creative Loafing’s January reporting places the collaboration within a wider network: producers Guy Average and Score, scratches from DJ Casper, horns from Noel Rochford and mixing by Maxx Forman.
The same report identifies Alter Ego, the J.C. Newman Cigar Factory and Ybor City’s dry docks as locations used for the video. The geography is part of the presentation, rather than a city name added only to promotional copy.
Looking beyond a release date
The January release celebration is now in the past. What remains relevant is the collaboration itself and the group of local contributors behind it.
For an audience discovering Tampa music, this provides a useful way to explore beyond one performer. Follow the song, then look at the people credited with shaping its production and visual setting.
Trap N Loud’s Florida Legend Spotlight places Tom G in that ongoing city conversation. The point is not to label a veteran as newly emerging, but to examine how established artists keep creating connections that introduce listeners to additional voices.
